The purpose of conservatorship under this chapter is to provide the least restrictive and most clinically appropriate alternative needed for the protection of a person who is incapable of caring for the person’s own health and well-being due to a serious mental illness and substance use disorder. If the court determines that the person needs to be moved from the person’s current residence, the placement shall be in supportive community housing that provides wraparound services, such as onsite physical and behavioral health services, unless the court, with good cause and by clear and convincing evidence, determines that such a placement is not sufficient for the protection of that person.
